GeekDad Exclusive: The Dork Knight Reprises

In 2005, Batman Begins asked, “Why do we fall down?”
In 2008, The Dark Knight asked, “Why so serious?”
And on December 18, 2012, The Dork Knight Reprises asks Mad Magazine readers, “Why not parody?”

That’s exactly what you get in this week’s Mad #519. It just so happens to be their annual tribute to the year’s biggest idiots. The magazine tackles the biggies from 2012, including Lance Armstrong’s fall from grace, the election, and – in their words – the glut of superhero films that were released. With The Dark Knight Rises hitting shelves across the country, two weeks back, The Usual Gang of Idiots turned their sights on poor old Battyman. He’s had a rough eight years, to be sure, but he isn’t getting any sympathy here.

The folks at Mad were nice enough to give GeekDad an early Christmas present with an exclusive look at the two-page spread below. Enjoy.
